Asides

• Next Tuesday sees the Sundance's Tree Room host a Viader Vineyards wine pairing dinner. The dinner is in celebration of the resorts ongoing 'wine as art' program. The set menu features items such as Roast Suckling Pig and Utah Elk, cooked up by the Tree Room's award winning chefs. Pricing is $85 for dinner and wine and $55 for dinner only. For the quality of the restaurant and cuisine, this is a fantastic deal in my book. Reservations are required and can be made by calling (877) 278-9389. Specials are available too for overnight stays at the resort, as part of the dinner. #
